Local homes and their kitchens

The housing mix across Gwent includes valley terraces, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and new-build estates, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Valley terraces often have a small kitchen in the rear extension, while Victorian villas in Newport and post-war houses in Cwmbran tend to have a separate kitchen and dining room.

Water across most of Gwent is soft to moderately soft, which is kinder to taps, though some areas are harder, so check with your supplier. Steep valley streets, terraces with steps up to the door and limited parking can make carrying long worktops difficult, so access is checked at the survey.

Do you need approval for fit-only kitchen fitting in Newport, Gwent?

In Wales a fit-only kitchen needs no planning permission, though a listed building may need listed building consent. The electrics are where Wales differs: extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P, as are new circuits, so even an extra socket for an appliance is certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Gas hobs are connected by Gas Safe registered engineers only, and extraction should meet Approved Document F.

The northern edge of Gwent falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas elsewhere may need consent for new external vents.

Worth knowing before the fit

Leave appliance manuals in their boxes; they give the housing sizes and ventilation gaps needed to install each appliance correctly in your Newport, Gwent kitchen.
Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Newport, Gwent address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in Gwent; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
Do not open or assemble anything before the survey; sealed boxes make it far easier to claim missing or damaged parts from the supplier.

Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Newport, Gwent

How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Newport, Gwent?

Fit-only kitchen fitting in Newport, Gwent typically costs £1,400 to £2,300 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in Wales. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you cover all of Newport, Gwent?

Yes. We work across Newport, Gwent, including the NP10, NP11, NP18, NP19 and NP20 postcode districts, and nearby towns such as Risca and Cwmbran. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

What happens if parts of my kitchen are missing or damaged?

Missing or damaged parts are the supplier's to replace. We check the delivery against your plan and delivery note before fitting starts and tell you straight away if anything is short, broken or wrong, so you can raise it with the supplier while we re-plan the order of work. Units that do not depend on the missing part can often still go in, and sealed boxes make any claim simpler.

What does fit-only kitchen fitting not include?

It does not include stone worktops, new electrical circuits, moved plumbing, gas connections, tiling, flooring or plastering. Stone is templated and fitted by the stone supplier or fabricator once the base units are fixed. Fit only covers the labour for units, doors, panels, plinths and laminate worktops, with connections to the points already in place. Any of the extras can be added as separate lines on the same written quote.

Do I need to order anything extra for a fit-only job?

Often, yes. Retail plans regularly leave out filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, legs and plinth clips, worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste. On the survey we go through your order line by line and list anything missing, so it can be ordered before the fit rather than halting it halfway through.
